Hacking Active Directory: Fundamentals and Techniques with Dale Hobbs

The course begins with an overview of Active Directory architecture and how it can be leveraged by attackers to gain access to critical assets. Participants will learn about the various attack vectors and methods used to compromise Active Directory, such as password attacks, service abuse and privilege escalation.

The course simulates real world attack scenarios with a focus is on exploiting the variety of overlooked domain features and not just software vulnerabilities.

We cover topics like  AD enumeration, what tools to use, domain privilege escalation, gaining credentials, Kerberos based attacks (Golden ticket, Silver ticket and more), and Delegation abuse. The training will be conducted in a hands-on manner, with participants performing various exercises and simulations to understand how attackers can compromise Active Directory environments. By the end of the course, participants will have a solid understanding of the security risks associated with Active Directory and how to effectively defend against them.
